Chapman 521 McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene Tournament notes: Participation in this Class A-l high school basketball tourney is not so simple as just playing the games as they come not even for Medford's Black Tor nado. Coach Frank Roelandt called a Thursday morning ses sion of his charges at the physi cal education building gym. Pur pose was to devise and perfect a means of counteracting the press ing defense of their Thursday night opponent, the Milwaukie Mustangs. A full court press was instrumental in the Mustangs' easy .victory over the bigger North Salem quint. SECOND BEST MARK Medford'i high's .386 field goaling arerage wax below its .398 mark for the regular sea son but it was still second best in the first round of the A-l titular hassle. Top effort was by South Salem in its losing cause io Franklin of Portland. The Saxons fired .410 to the Quakers'' .353 and lost 65 to 62. Franklin with 6-9 Bjarne Jensen the big factor won the game on the backboards and at the free line where it got more chances . . . Poorest shooting from the field was by Central Catholic of Portland with .269 in the opener against Lincoln of Portland . . . Eu gene and Pendleton broke ex actly even in their tangle with 20 for 57 for .351 each. 2378 rnnrn t R. Rolls 48 n Hansen 451 D. Ross 438 E. Barry ' 493 C.

Allen 426 454 484 489 John Kantor 523 2376 BIG MAN TOPS Jensen of the Quakers, tallest man in the tourney, had 32 points and 28 rebounds against South Salem for the top effort in the opening round. But Charlie War ren of Eugene. 6-3, and Len Paola 5-10 of Milwaukie showed that a eager doesn't have to be an exact skyscraper to be an ef fective reboutider. Warren made 24" retrieves and Paola collected 18 with aggressiveness, good po sition and timing . . . Jensen is one of the big attractions of the tournament but he isn't the most popular. Nothing wrong with his personality. It's just the towering size advantage :of the agile Quaker. When referee's decis ions go for him, a good share of the crowd sounds off its disap proval. When the calls go against him, the spectators cheer. Such is the price of being a tall, good basketball player. COPPLE- DOES WELL Medford's Dick Copple knot ted for third high laurels in first round field goal totals. Jensen was tops with 12. Earle Tichenor of Klamath Falls col lected 10 in making 25 points. Copple and Bruce Patterson of South Salem each had nine. GAMES CLOSE : Designation of the tournament field as a well-balanced one proved true after . the opening round of eight was history. Out of the frays 'Tuesday and Wednesday only one, Milwau kie's " win over North Salem, could be called a waltz-away and the Salemites showed they had better stuff in the second half. Medf ord won by a good margin but was still being push ed early in the fourth quarter The six other scraps were either club's game right up until the final moments. Three scrapes were decided by two points, one by three counters and two by five. Handicap 2189 2250 Lorenz Co.. 3 C. M'Whorter 454 J. Mathes 421 D. M'Cormack 466 B. Tye 520 H.

Allen 522 2418 UO STAFF HELPS MUCH We were told that an Ore gon School Activities associa tion official complained about the sum of S500 which the tourney publicity set-up at U of O is costing the OSAA. We think that is the wrong at titude. Last year attendance reached a record high and the big classic produced the big share of the S36.055 the OSAA realized from Class A basket ball. The press shouldn't get the whole credit for tourney success but certainly is worthy of a huge share of it. Services provided by Art Litchman, U of O athletics publicity di rector, and his staff help news paper and radio men immeas urably in publicizing and keep ing up interest in Oregon prepdom's biggest athletic show, the OSAA money is well spent. INFORMATION KIT We've mentioned it in past years but the help provided by Art and his aides are worth re peating. The U of O staff, to begin with, furnishes an infor matipn kit to members of the press. It contains a card on each team with information on the squad, its record, coach, man agers, and nickname and colors. Medford's card, for instance, shows it as No. 1 team in Dis trict 6. Height, weight, age and class of the players is given. Names of Coach Frank Roelandt, Assistant Coach Bob Newland, Capt. Bob Tisdel, Managers Ken Kumasawa and Ron Warner are listed along with that of band director Irv Mirick. The card indicates that this is Medford's 18th time in the tournament and that has an all-time tourney mark of 39 wins and 21 defeats. Two other cards contain gen eral team and tourney record information. One shows Med ford's season .offensive average of 62.3 points per game as sec ond best among the 16 entries here. Pendleton averaged 63.2. The Tornado ranks 14th, how ever, with its per game defensive rriark of 54.6. Best is McLaugh lin high's 44.8. TO PRINT BOOKLET . After each game the UO crew tabulates, mimeographs and distributes the official rec ords of the tussle. After the tourney is over these records of each contest and overall tourney statistics will be com piled into a booklet which will be sold as a souvenir for a nominal sum. For the avid prep hoop fan it will be well worth the price. ROGUE VALLEY LEAGUE Although all matches Thurs day night went to three game victories, there was little change in standings. Star Body Works changed places with Andy's Jewelers, and Darrell Miller and Seven Up changed places. Klie ver's Machine Shop is still in the lead by 6V2 games. Dale Graham bowled a 255 for high game and Hal Allen's 564 was high series. Standings: W. L. Kliever's Machine Shop 3Hj 8i U. S. National Bank 2o lo Star Body Works ..

Each turn, of course, adds a number on the meter. Don't know how many turns were made before the boys were stopped . . . McLoughlin (Mac) high appears to be making another bid for sportsmanship honors. The players' conduct is of high caliber and the youths make a neat appearance in their white shirts, red bow ties and black sweaters . . . Small pep bands and fast-stepping pep squads again are lending color to the tournament . . . Corvallis girls have gone to the extreme so far this year. Several appeared barefooted . on the McArthur maplecourt and danced a lively number. HEADLIGHT WOES Trip north was uneventful except for one incident. The writer and his wife got io dis- cussing whether, both head lights were burning. Finally made up our mind they were. But a state policeman stopped us and informed us otherwise. One was out. Wife was driv-' ing at the time and got the worst of the inquisition. Baseball EHIB1TION RESULTS Pittsburgh IN) 4, Wash. (A) 3 Phila. (N) 2.
